Yes. I've changed the set up a bit so that the other students can't actually see the boggart (not very clearly, at least) while the student is facing it. The most difficult thing about this lesson is having other people discover what you're most afraid of, after all. But I'm always behind the student when they open the wardrobe, just in case they freeze up in fear entirely.
Hydra's wasn't what I would have guessed. I think she might have been surprised by it, too.
Young, dark-haired man in Slytherin robes. When he opened his mouth a snake slithered out.
When she saw the snake - that's when she went white. It puffed up and grew and transformed into a basalisk. Pretty sure the other students got a glimpse of that much.
She wasn't quite able to cast Riddikulus, but that's all right. Very few students pull that off the first try.
